Date: February 8, 2000
e4L, INC.
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, FOOTHILL CAPITAL CORPORATION
or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from e4L, Inc., a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "COMPANY"), at any time
or from time to time during the period specified in Section 2 hereof, Three
Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (325,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), at an
exercise price per share (the "EXERCISE PRICE") equal to $2.5625. The number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder (the "WARRANT SHARES") and the
Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and
conditions:
1. MANNER OF EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR
SHARES. Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the
limitations contained in Section 7 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the
holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together
with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "EXERCISE
AGREEMENT"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at
the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i)
payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire
transfer for the account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the holder is permitted to
effect a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 10(c) hereof) pursuant to
Section 10(c) hereof, delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election
to effect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise
Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the
holder hereof, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business
on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been deliv ered, and payment shall have been made
for such shares as set forth above or, if such date is not a business date, on
the next succeeding business date. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so
purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise
Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time
after this Warrant shall have been so exercised (the "DELIVERY PERIOD"). The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by
the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such
other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company
shall,
at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the
holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
2. Period of Exercise.
2.1 This Warrant is exercisable, at any time or from time to time
on or after the date of initial issuance of this Warrant (the "ISSUE DATE") and
before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on, February 7, 2005 (the "EXERCISE
PERIOD").
2.2 In the event that any portion of this Warrant is unexercised
as of the end of the Exercise Period (the "EXPIRATION DATE") such portion of
this Warrant shall be deemed to have been converted automatically into shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the terms of Section 10(c) hereof immediately prior to
the close of business (Los Angeles time) on the Expiration Date (or, in the
event that the Expiration Date is not a business day, the immediately preceding
business day) (the "Automatic Conversion Date") and the person entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of
the close of business (Los Angeles time) on such Automatic Conversion Date. This
Warrant shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Company on the Automatic
Conversion Date, by virtue of this Section 2(b) and without any action by the
holder of this Warrant or any other person. As promptly as practicable on or
after the Automatic Conversion Date and in any event within thirty (30) days
thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or
persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such conversion.
3. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby
covenants and agrees as follows:
3.1 SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID. All Warrant Shares will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances.
3.2 RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrant, a number
of shares equal to the sum of (i) 325,000 and (ii) the number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of
the Warrant at the then applicable Exercise Price, and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the exercise of the Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action
as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be
sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in
reasonable best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval. The
Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer
Agent") and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's
capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase
aforesaid will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve
such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The
Company will keep a copy of this Warrant on file with the Transfer Agent and
with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the company's capital
stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the
Warrant. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of
adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted to each holder
pursuant to Section 8 hereof. If the effect of any such adjustment is to reduce
the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, the
Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel,
be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted. The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of
the Warrant will, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive
rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with
respect to the issue thereof. If and so long as the outstanding shares of Common
Stock may be listed on any securities exchange in the United States, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts
2
to cause all Warrant Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant
to be listed on each such exchange upon official notice of issuance upon such
exercise.
3.3 LISTING; REGISTRATION. The Company shall promptly secure the
listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any,
upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or become listed (subject to
official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain,
so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of
all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or
automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing
of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed
on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system. The holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to the benefits of such registration rights in
respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Foothill Capital Corporation and
the Company.
3.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Warrant will be binding upon any
entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets.
4. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and for which this Warrant is then exercisable
pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided in this Section 4.
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required
herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up
or down to the nearest cent.
4.1 ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever after the Issue Date the Company
issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof is deemed to have
issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on
the date of issuance (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon
the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with
the following formula:
E' = E x O + P/M
---------
CSDO
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Price;
E = the then current Exercise Price;
M = the then current Market Price
(as defined in Section 4(1));
O = the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to
the Dilutive Issuance;
P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as
set forth in Section 4(b) hereof, received
by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance;
and
CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock
Deemed Outstanding (as defined in Section
4(j)) immediately after the Dilutive
Issuance.
4.2 EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following
will be applicable:
(a) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR OPTIONS. If the Company in any
manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not
immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase
3
Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock ("CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES") (such warrants, rights and options
to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to
as "OPTIONS") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
the exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price on the date of
issuance ("BELOW MARKET OPTIONS"), then the maximum total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options
(assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if
applicable) will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Market
Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
"price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such
Below Market Options" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any,
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or
granting of all such Below Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of
all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities
issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options, the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become
exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market
Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No
further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of such Below Market Options.
(b) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately
convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
exercise, conversion or exchange (as determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(B)
if applicable) is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance, then the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date
of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the
purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange" is determined by
dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such
Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by
(ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further
adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(c) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE OR CONVERSION RATE. If there is a
change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
(other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against
dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be
readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time
had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such
changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be,
at the time initially granted, issued or sold.
(d) TREATMENT OF EXPIRED OPTIONS AND UNEXERCISED CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of any Option or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such
Option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall
have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted
to the Exercise Price which would have been
4
in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares
of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(e) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the
amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable
commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses
paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale.
In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold
for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of
the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair
market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of
such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as
is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined in good faith by an investment banker or other
appropriate expert of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably
acceptable to the holder hereof, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by
the Company.
(f) EXCEPTIONS TO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment
to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants,
options or convertible securities issued and outstanding on the Issue Date; or
(ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be
granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan of the Company now existing
or to be implemented in the future.
4.3 SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company,
at any time after the Issue Date, subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at
any time after the Issue Date, combines (by reverse stock split,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for
effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such combination will be proportionately increased.
4.4 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and for which this
Warrant is or may become exercisable shall be adjusted by multiplying a number
equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable or for which this Warrant is or
may become exercisable (as applicable) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted
Exercise Price.
4.5 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE. In case of any reorganization
or consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other
corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company at any time during the Exercise Period, then as a
condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate
provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to
acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, such shares of stock, securities, cash or assets as were issued or
payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
had such consolidation,
5
merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will
make appropriate provision to ensure that the provisions of this Section 4
hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any
shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
4.6 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant within ten (10)
days of such adjustment, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based.
4.7 MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price
in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
4.8 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock
are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be
issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share
of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
4.9 CERTAIN EVENTS. If, at any time after the Issue Date, any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions of this
Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will
give notice of such event as provided in Section 4(f) hereof, and the Company's
Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and
the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so
that the rights of the holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such
event.
4.10 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.
(a) "COMMON STOCK DEEMED OUTSTANDING" shall mean the number
of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common
Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) in the case of any
adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Options,
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
the Options for which the adjustment is required (including any Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options), and (y) in the case of any adjustment required by
Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is
required, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any.
(b) "MARKET PRICE," as of any date, (i) means the volume
weighted average sale price for the shares of Common Stock as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange for the trading day immediately preceding such date, or
(ii) if the New York Stock Exchange is not the principal trading market for the
shares of Common Stock, the volume weighted average sale prices on the principal
trading market for the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding
such date, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any
of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value
as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Company
and reasonably acceptable to the holder, with the costs of the appraisal to be
borne by the Company. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common
Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any
other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be
made hereunder.
6
(c) "COMMON STOCK," for purposes of this Section 4, includes
the Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no
preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the
shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only Common Stock in
respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any
subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the
character referred to in Section 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or
property provided for in such Section.
5. ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this
Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof,
provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant.
6. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS A SHAREHOLDER. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
7. TRANSFER AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT.
7.1 RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. This Warrant and the rights granted
to the holder hereof are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of
this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the form attached
hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 8 below,
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7(d) hereof and to the provisions of Sections
2(f) and 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Until due presentment for
registration of transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the

the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
7.2 REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
7.3 CANCELLATION; PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer or replacement as provided in this
Section 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company.
7.4 EXERCISE OR TRANSFER WITHOUT REGISTRATION. If, at the time of
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or
exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form,

made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and sub stance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" as defined
in Rule

501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; PROVIDED that no such opinion,
letter, status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in connection with
a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
8. NOTICES. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the
terms of this Warrant shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed
telecopy, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if
mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by

of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the difference between the Market Price of a share of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which
shall be such Market Price per share of Common Stock.
